East Moline’s bulky-item pick-up delayed because of staffing issues

Because of staffing issues at Republic Services and the high volume of bulky items placed out for collection, the City of East Moline is experiencing a delay in the spring pick-up schedule, according to a news release.

Republic Services will continue to pick up items from last weeks’ Monday/Tuesday routes and then they will begin on the Thursday/Friday routes. Pick up may continue into the week of the 29th if the high volume remains, the release says.

Friday, April 26, will be the last day of free yard waste collection. The city reminds residents that yard waste collection carts are available for those wishing to not deal with lawn bags and stickers. The fee of $8.66/month is billed over the 12-month period. Call the water office to sign up at 309-752-1530 or ask when you pay your water bill. Participation in this subscription service is voluntary and yard waste bag stickers are still be available for those wishing to continue to use yard waste bags and avoid the monthly recurring fee.
